Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

i wish I could 'like' all the comments. I love avocados, i will peel off the skin and eat it w/a spoon plain. SOO good

mint chutney (mint, coriander, lemon, hot peppers, salt, garlic - blend)
mojitos!
tea (mint, chai, etc.)

if you grow strawberries- they'll grow like weeds too. our side yard is covered w/mint + strawberries

dont forget vegetable pakoras w/peppers.. spicy + yummy (not to mention not too healthy) but one of my favs!

the way i've learned and been brought up.. its a totally different religion, the 'founders' were cousins is about it.. both have the same underlying principals (non violence, reincarnation, absolute heaven) but different paths of acheiving it..(jainism- abstinence & buddhism - pleasure) i'd look it up more.. i dont feel comfortable going into religion on a food website, we're all so diverse it's great!

I guess I should include some background onto this post. I was extremely hesitant about posting it knowing some may get offended or opinionated; that said, I am Jain, born and raised Jain here in the US.

Jainism is NOT a sect of hinduism, however has many similar qualities since our cultures are so intertwined.

@chris gregory: i appreciate your concern. there is a holy holiday, where we try our hardest to live our ideals (as we should be everyday) and those restrictions I had listed above are some of the restrictions(there are many others but are not food related).

Thanks for the feedback and great resources.

gujarat, India - most of the indian people there are veg.

mamoun's falafel
kati roll

I went to 5 points. the food was so great!, The lemon ricotta pancakes were devoured, I hate eggs and I ended up eating some of the eggs rancheros, their polenta was done very well!

not to mention they had wonderful service!

@lexophile: it's pretty easy.. i just put kernels in a brown bag, fold the the opening so it doesn't open when its popping. wait like you would for a commercial microwaveable popcorn bag. and you can re-use the brown bag (unless ofcourse you burn the bag haha) then after its done popping i put on salt and cayenne pepper and sometimes black pepper, but thats what i like to eat on it.

i work out as much as i can.. as much as i am a 'serious eater' i try (keyword try) to work out as much as i can

im having the same problem in IE but not in firefox, although my firefox doesnt have a plug in so it crashes all the time

perhaps its gross.. but i like eating the seeds.. not a fan of seedless watermelon

I like to peel the husk down to one or two laters, and let it steam and hten the husk burns off.

in our fam, we take slices of lemon/lime and dip them in salt + chili powder then rub it onto the corn and eat it that way.. yummm!
